Application of socialization and role theory in the relationship of heath care between health care workers and patients/clients Duranti, Ochs and Schieffelin (2012) presumed that socialization is the process that helps in developing individual attempts that learn norms and values for work roles. Kunkwenzu and Reddy (2008) argued that there are several key principles of socialization and roles theory that allows the organization especially in the heath care organization for building a good relationship with workers such as doctor, nurse, administrator, medicine department, etc with the clients of patients. These are 1. The principle of socialization strongly influences the employee within health care organization and increase the organizational stability as well as performance of employee.2. Socialization and role theory allows the new member to overcome the suffer from anxiety within the heath care organization and leads in playing their role properly.3. Socialization and role theory in health care system allows the people in increasing individual role that helps the people in adjusting the new situation. Ahmadi, Samad and Noordin (2013) described that socialization and role theory has three different stage such as pre-arrival stage, encounter stage and metamorphosis stage. The principle or theory of socialization and role moved the foundation in health care organization among the people such as worker and patients. Role and socialization theory increase the individuals for lacking of some goods, comfort as well as service that organized the social movement of health care organization in terms of better relationship of workers with the patients regarding care. It is also allows the individuals in increasing the work conditions for health care system. For example, the theory of structural strain of socialization and role encourages the six factors that move the development of health care system regarding relationship between the clients and workers. Structural strain allows the people in removing deprivation of people experiences such as workers including cleaning staffs of the health care organization take care of the most with initialization that reduce the deprivation. The participating factors of role and socialization theory in health care system help in discontenting the required catalyst. Thus, it turns the social movement of workers in terms of caring patient most in present as well as in future. Curtis, Horton and Smith (2012) suggested that, theory of role and socialization have great control over the lack of resources in health care organization. The entity of socialization and role theory helps in changing the least significant change in health care organization. For example, if the organization in health care industry moves powerfully and quickly, the theory of socialization and role helps in materializing the overall system and maintain good relationship between the patient and workers. The mobilization factor is one of the most hygiene method of socialization and role theory. Mobilization factors allow the organization of health care in activating their components or resources and organizing properly for providing better care to their patients. For example, mobilization of role and socialization theory assists in analyzing the needs and demands of care for patients and based on the organizational resources, workers of health care organization builds an active and controls structure that make powerful activism that underlying motivation. 2. To what extent has the traditional caring role of the family been replaced by the health care professionals? Guivarch and Hallegatte (2013) cited that in terms of tradition caring, the role of family members replaced by the health care professionals due to take care of the patient in a better way. Lima (2012) explained that members of family are not able to identify the specific problems of patient due to lack of knowledge as well as lack of time. However, in health care organization there are several professionals present in each department such as doctors, nurses, social workers, paramedics, pharmacists, etc. They take care about the patient in far better way rather than the family members of the patient. For example, Harry the old man who leads her 85 years life (Bengtson, Zepeda and Parylo, 2013). Suddenly he falls from the ladder in his back yard. The patients tried to clean out the gutters following a storm. Therefore, family members of Harry such as his wife Alice were unable to recover the yard. Therefore, he was taken into the hospitals and doctor with the help of nurse and advisor y board take care of Harry and reduce the yard. These types of problems were never solve by the family never of the patient. This is the main reason that replaced the traditional caring of family member to the patients by the professionals in health care organization. Apart from that, Zarakol (2014) depicted health care professionals implement the population health and clinical prevention in caring patients within the health care industry. On the other hand, family member of patient often emotionally attached with the patient and repeatedly mistake to maintain discipline in taking tradition care of the patients. On the contrary, in health care industry, there were many specialists or doctors that caring the patients for long time. Moreover, Winter (2012) argued that tradition caring of family member to the patient may affected them or they will be the carer of that germ. Due to care of patients, there have huge chances in falling health issues of patients family member. Kunkwenzu an d Reddy (2008) suggested that health care professionals take care about the patient as well as the family member of the patient. Moreover, Duranti, Ochs and Schieffelin (2012) cited that traditional care of family member replaced by the heath care professionals due to lack of support. Family ember gets lack of support from the other members in order to take care of patients. However, the health care professional such as nurses provides effective support to the doctor and other professionals in health care organization that allowed in taking traditional care of patients. For example, a 64 year old man falling into breathing problems. The family member was not able to reduce the issues of that particular patient. In the health care organization, professionals easily remove the issues with standard treatment including several medications such as valproate sodium, levetiracetam, lamotrigine, etc. These are the key reason that replaced the traditional caring of family member by the health care professionals.
